Yes, our daughter would start primary school in 2 years.Do you have school age children?
Templeogue, Terenure and Rathfarnham are very expensive and, in my opinion, bad value as there are nicer areas to live. I grew up and live in the area and I don't understand the attraction. You'll get far more house in just as nice an area if you look around.We're looking to buy a house in Dublin, but as we currently live a few hours of flight away, we can't explore it as much as we'd like, so any input is appreciated, tia.
One location is Walsh Road, Drumcondra, near Griffith Park.
Another is The Heath, Cypress Downs, Tempelogue (it's listed as Tempelogue anyway).
We also saw a few houses in Rathfarnham, which, as we understand, is a nice place in general and for families in particular.
I would start with where your place of work will be and work outwards from there.We're looking to buy a house in Dublin, but as we currently live a few hours of flight away, we can't explore it as much as we'd like, so any input is appreciated, tia.
I don't know about that now.Once you're not on the coast the different parts of Dublin don't vary hugely

Fully agree.The southside of Dublin is overpriced and overrated compared to the northside.
Closer to 20% but yeah, definitely a thing. Completely baffled me all those years ago as a culchie immigrant to the big smoke.Fully agree.
If you have no familial connections the northside is a better bet. I've always reckoned about 10% cheaper at whatever amenity level.
there is a premium to be paid for dart proximity v commuter lines. to say its overpriced is a personal opinion, one i wouldnt necessarily share.Only the OP can figure out the relative importance of proximity to schools, workplaces and public transport options. But in the absence of that info, I'd make a general point. The southside of Dublin is overpriced and overrated compared to the northside. Similarly Dart proximity is overpriced compared to proximity to commuter rail on the Maynooth and Naas lines. There's also a better selection on non fee-paying (or fee-charging!) schools on the northside.
